CPT’s WorkCPT’s Work

Pursuant to the School Board’s direction provided on February 14, 2008, a staff group, the Crowding Project Team (CPT), was convened to accomplish the following work and analyses:

• to identify and analyze options to relieve crowding in March; • to meet with interested groups about the options in April and May; • to discuss the options with members of the Senior Staff in

May; • to refine the options after securing feedback; and • to assist the Superintendent with preparing a report to the

School Board in June.

The CPT considered possible issues related to each option to determine its feasibility based on four factors, including:

• How does the option affect instruction?

• How does the option reduce crowding?

• How does the option impact the budget?

• How does the option move students?
